  Has anyone fitted full mudguards to a Trek Domane ALR disc?

  Recommendations would be welcome.

  I agree. A form of PR is needed for such a party to exist. It's such a shame Blair stabbed Ashdown in the back over this. Roy Jenkins got so close to making it happen.

  I want less long! I have a 58cm Equilibrium at the moment and want to swap the frame for a short reach frame. Plus, has to be rim brake so that I can use my wheels.

  Yes, but I fear that a 853 frame is far too nice for my purposes. Plus I think you're selling a complete bike and I just need the frame.

  My ideal is a 725 M or 56cm that is a bit tatty. Don't care about the colour.

  Let me know if you decide to split though! It's a lovely frame.

  I'm doing WCW as well. 7.30am start for me, I reckon. More sleep is definitely a good thing for me. I'm staying close by I think.

  This sums up why we should never hold a referendum on anything.

  I'm very pleased. A friend of mine had to negotiate and pay to get her stolen bike back last year and sometimes you just have to do it to get them back. I hope that the police support you after this to hold whoever took them/handled them to account.

• Knee Pain

  in General • 3 weeks, 2 days

  

  Yep.

  Focus on strengthening glutes and ankle stability. Make sure that there is no pain in your knee carrying out these exercises. If there is pain you can find straight leg alternatives.

  Glute bridge, one leg deadlift, Bulgarian squat, Curtsy squat - perform with weights to increase difficulty. Also Clamshell, Donkey kick, fire hydrant for glutes specifically.

  If you go to a pilates class the teacher would provide a good variation of all of these exercises with some good core strengthening.
